What is the DBA Profile in GPON?
Today we will discuss what is DBA profile and how to configure DBA profile in Huawei OLT. We can perform these tasks using either the GUI or the command line. We are going to complete this configuration process using the CLI.
DBA profiles are very important in GPON because they help manage and allocate internet speed to network users. These profiles determine how much speed each person receives based on what they require and how critical their service is. GPON has several types of DBA profiles, each with its own unique job.
Types of DBA Profiles-
Type-1 or Fixed Bandwidth: With a Fixed Bandwidth, everyone gets the same amount of internet speed. This type of profile is good for things or people who need a consistent amount of internet but don't need a lot. This type of DBA profile is used for services like TDM or VoIP.
Type-2 or Assured Bandwidth: Assured Bandwidth makes sure that certain subscribers or services always have a minimum level of internet speed, even when the network is busy. This is important for critical services or people who need fast internet all the time.
Type-3 or Assured & Maximum Bandwidth: This DBA profile ensures minimum bandwidth of a user and also sets a maximum threshold of bandwidth usages. Customers can not exceed the maximum bandwidth limit. This type of DBA profile is used for VoIP and IPTV services.
Type-4 or Maximum Bandwidth: This type-4 DBA profile ensures the maximum bandwidth limit of a customer. The value of the bandwidth is 128-10000000 kbit/s. So the maximum bandwidth limit of this type is 10000000 kbit/s, and it is used for services like internet access which is less priority rather than other real-time services.
Type-5 or Mixed Bandwidth: This type is a combination of Fixed Bandwidth, Assured Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth. On this DBA profile we can configure Fixed Bandwidth or Type-1 for VoIP service, Assured Bandwidth which ensures the minimum limit of bandwidth use, and Maximum Bandwidth or Type-4 DBA profile.
